Karneval der Kulturen 2011

You know when you have not eaten in a long time and you finally get to sit down and have a rrrridiculous meal? That you wonder: "is this THAT good? Or am I just reaaaal hungry?” well, that was Berlin Karnival 2K11 for me… I mean let’s get real… who thinks about wining, wukkin up, and Berlin in the same sentence? How do you say nobody in German? Keiner?!?

OK, so the usual TJJ Berlin Karnival crew (Scorn Juice & D1 Jam Masters) did not make it this time around, but regardless the Emerald Carnival crew treated Panidad like a local. Danke!

Thanks to a Trini friend that lives in Madrid, Spain (T.H.) I found about the mas camp and Lil' Rick’s concert. We missed Shurwayne Winchester’s concert on the Friday… Jetlag’s no joke! Remember I comin from USA’s west coast and I’m outta practice… TJJ made it to the lime at the mass camp on Columbiadamm and Platz der Luftbrucker on the Saturday, though. We got to lime with Shurwayne Winchester and from Barbados Lil Rick and Ms. Desire… Shurwayne and Lil Rick sent video hallo’s from Berlin to the TJJ massive.

The drinks were flowing… the food and of course Soca music, too… Later on that night in the same Columbia theatre Lil' Rick performed. Ms. Desire opened for him. Flags from Aruba, St Kitts, St Vincent, St Maarten, Barbados and of course Trinidad were everywhere… Oh, German ones, too! J It was a good jump up that ended about 7am. These German’s can party! Good Lord, where did these people come from? They gotta mix of soca and Caribbean sea in their veins!!!

Berlin Carnival 2011Karnival Tag reach! Sunday @ 2pm Berlin time… meeting point Urbanstrasse & Graefestrasse. DJ Truck “Yard” was ready with music. Hungry? Turkish food everywhere, and thank God for that!
Music pumping, The Jab Jab German crew was “dressed” in blue. Costumes are reaching little by little… everybody is running on Caribbean time anyway, it’s all good… Berlin has a cocktail mix of Caribbean and European people from the UK, Spain, Holland, Germany, USA and then some that actually live in the Caribbean…

Berlin Carnival 2011The jump up lasted until 10:30pm… but the Sun never really goes down, but it’s not strong either. So, you’re not burning which is kinda nice! AAAAND you still get to see who’s stealin' ah wine from you… So, it seems to me that this is a win-win situation!

Karnival was over by Zur Hagelberger Strasse & Yorckstrasse… The after party was @ Yaam but Panidad could not make DAT! Next year man! I reaaaaal tired and jetlagged …

Still, I must say… I was hungry for a carnival… and the Berlin Karnival… was just what the doctor ordered! I can honestly say I would sacrifice myself for next year’s coverage, and head to Berlin again for K2K12!
